Use these instructions to connect a client computer to
the CMM as
a remote console to perform configuration of the Flex System chassis.
Note: By default, the
CMM does
not have a fixed static IPv6 IP address. For initial access to the
CMM in
an IPv6 environment, you can either use the IPv4 IP address or the
IPv6 link-local address. See
IPv6 addressing for initial connection for information about how to determine
the IPv6 address to use for initial
CMM access.
The CMM has
the following default settings:
- IP address: 192.168.70.100
- Subnet: 255.255.255.0
- User ID: USERID (all capital letters)
- Password: PASSW0RD (note the number zero, not the letter O, in
PASSW0RD)
By default, the CMM is
configured to respond to DHCP first before it uses its static IP address.
The
client computer that you connect to the CMM must
be configured to operate on the same subnet as the CMM.
The IP address of the CMM must
also be in the same local domain as the client computer. To connect
to the CMM for
the first time, you might have to change the Internet Protocol properties
on the client computer.
There are two built-in interfaces
that you can use to connect to the CMM for
the first time: the web interface and the CLI. If you are connecting
to the CMM through
an Ethernet connection, you can open a web browser and use the web
interface, or you can use Telnet to connect to the CMM and
use the CLI to configure the CMM.
If you are connecting through a serial connection, you can use a terminal
emulator to access the CLI.
Note: If your web browser
advises you that a connection is untrusted or a security certificate
is invalid, you might be able to correct the condition by removing
and re-importing security certificates in your web browser or by switching
to a different web browser. See
External
authentication of certificates and the documentation for
your web browser for more information.
Note:
- If you are unable to connect to your CMM from
all user accounts because you have forgotten the account IDs and passwords,
you must restore the CMM to
the manufacturing default configuration (see Restoring the CMM manufacturing default configuration for information).
- If you are unable to connect to the CMM from
a single user account because it has been locked, you can unlock it
using the users -unlock -n user_name command
(where user_name is the user account ID). See users command for information about command
use.
